Life

Your stage name has no special meaning; she picked it at random because she liked the words. She has lived in New York City since 1998 and writes her own songs, mostly in English. She also plays the piano and guitar.

She released her first single Orange in 1995 under her real name. In the same year the debut album Blue Jam was released on Pony Canyon Records. She described it on the envelope as a "mixture of bitter honey, blues, temporary silence, unstoppable madness, tears, sour grapes, hopeful bombs, great, great love and some green apples" ( " mixture of bitter honey, blues music, momentary silence." , irresistible madness, teardrops, sourgrapes, hopeful bombs, big big love, and a few green apples ” ). Their music style is defined as a mixture of jazz , blues , pop and rock . The next year she met Tore Johansson , the Swedish cardigan producer , who became a good friend and produced many of her works. In 1997 the album Heaven's Kitchen followed . She wrote her third album Evil and Flowers from 1998 in the loneliness of the Swedish countryside. She hoped to find inspiration there, but became depressed and processed the frustration in her songs.

On her fourth album, Let Go , she worked with Mitchell Froom , the New York producer of Elvis Costello , Cibo Matto and Suzanne Vega , whom she referred to as a co-producer. The fifth album Just a Girl followed in 2001. A year later she released the remix re * PINK with other artists . When Present and Even So were released in 2003 and 2004 , their popularity gradually declined. With the single A Perfect Sky , which was used in a commercial with the model Yuri Ebihara and was the most successful single in her career, success returned in June 2006. Her best-of album also reached high positions in the charts. In November of the same year she released the single Love Song together with m-flo .

Pink's single Love is Bubble was the theme song of the Japanese film Kiraware Matsuko no Issho ( 嫌われ松子の一生 , Memories of Matsuko ), in which she also occurs itself. Two other songs ( Cotton Candy and Last Kiss ) were used in two anime , Ring A Bell became the theme song for the video game Tales of Vesperia . Her single Water Me is the score in Watashitachi no Kyōkasho , a melancholy drama about the suicide of a young girl.

On July 7, 2007, Bonnie Pink performed at the Live Earth concert in her hometown of Kyoto .
